Enabling Innovation at NTU

Enabling Innovation is a three-year collaboration between Nottingham Trent University, the University of Nottingham, and the University of Derby to support SMEs in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to innovate. It is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Enabling Innovation runs a wider programme of one-off events, workshops and masterclasses, as well as provides local SMEs and start-ups with access to University specialists and expert facilities free of charge.

Notes for editors

Enabling Innovation will enable us to support businesses to invest in research and innovation; to make them more competitive, and help them to grow and create high-skill jobs with a range of schemes. We will achieve this in a number of ways, including:

innovation management workshops delivered by Nottingham Business School

a contribution of 20% towards 60 graduate salaries for up to a year, to support businesses to introduce innovative products, services or processes

academic and student-led projects and consultancy

intensive specialist support for innovative businesses

networking and business development workshops and events.

Design Innovation

This expert hub has already delivered the successful ERDF Future Factory project (2009-2015). This project has led to the development of a dedicated industrial design facility which, through this new Enabling Innovation programme, will provide SMEs with access to disruptive technologies, including 3D visualisation and rapid prototyping, virtual reality technologies, eco-design expertise, and innovative design practices.
